« Microsoft Introduces New Pink And Magenta Zune HD For The Holiday Season
AT&T Offers Up 1/2 Off BlackBerry And Free Samsung Solstice For The Holidays »

A while ago, here on ZiggyTek, we talked about exploding iPhones and how they were popping up all over the world. Well, it had seemed to stop for a while, until today when a iPhone mysteriously blew up. The iPhone was being used as a music source at a party when it suddenly exploded, filling the room with smoke.

The polycarbonate back completely melted and burned away, but not after violently firing the battery onto the floor. One of the party attendants released a statement saying:

I was at a fraternity house hanging out one night. One of my friends had his iPhone plugged into the speakers so we could have music. We had the usual speaker system, a receiver and some speakers. I was standing near the receiver when All the sudden the iphone cut off and started to smoke. The room filled up with what must have been hazardous smoke. After picking up the iPhone that was still extremely hot, the entire battery had been ejected from the phone and was sitting on the floor. The house smelled like burning electronics for the rest of the night and the iPhone left a square-ish burn mark on the table it was sitting on.

Fortunately, no one was hurt and no one had any clue what caused it, but we would have to blame it on the battery, which can get over heated very quickly on the new iPhones. Exploding iPhones will probably never stop, as long as the iPhone is around which is not a very good thing for Apple, since they are already being swallowed up by competitors.
